An effort was made by means; of a line togefc her off,'hut after moving ahead,vphe ; wjwps .parted, and a feqr. heavy /rollers s.C.pt her .upon , the South Spit, with her starboar d wheel out of'water.. The Tawai while bringing ib the-ketch Plorence,"did not make sufficient allowance for the current, and would have been ashore hutr that the anchor,was let go. While this, saved the"tog it.was fatal to the.ketch, which-was washed broadsidCW the North-Spit, and in five minutes, was high and dry.; The Persevere had been following the.Yarra, and being compelled to ease .Bteara, was hove hp’under- the bows of the Charles Edward: Next : came the Challenge with the sohooner Ocean Wave in tow. Like the others she also passed the bar. in safety, but, failing to make sufficient .allowance , for the north set, she touched the' fatal North Spit—ahead and happily well clear of the Plorence, and in five minutes was piled up with her paddles out. of water. The fate of the Ocean Wave, was not long in doubt.. She paid round upon her heel, bows out, and once it was thought would regain the roadstead, hut a couple of .heavy , seas settled the question by plumping her ashore up on the North Spit, a few yardsnorth of the Florence. The steamers did not get oft;: as was expected, on the night’s tide, and early yesterday morning the p.s. Despatch was sent from this port to render assistance' to her sistersin distress at Hokitika.

NARROW ESCAPE OF THE S.S. KENNEDY ON THE MORTFTTNTTI BAR. !

(Prom the Nelson Colonist, 29th October.) We have to record an escape ofMessrs.N. Edwards 1 and Co.’s B& Kennedy from 1 destruction .on the 1 Moldhinni bar, of a very narrow, almost miracn- 1 lons kind, last Friday'morning; and also the sal- 1 vation of "the life of the Superintendent of'the 1 Province, Mr, Sharp, the Provincial Treasurer, Mr-1 Bamicoat, Speaker, and three members of 1 Council, besides' other passengers, and'the captain 1 and crew. From the accounts we have received, < a more narrow.escape under such dangers as were 1 then attending the Kennedy, has never been ex- > perienced on tbe West Coast; and the bestevi-. 1 dence .of the extent of that danger was the opinion i current at Mokihinni, that the'vessel had gone 1 down with all on board. This we learn from'-a telegram whickwas received yesterday afternoon by Messrs N. Edwards and Co., , from their agent at the Grey, ’ Mr' Nancarrow, whom the news of the supposed disaster -had just reached down the ' coast. . .Mr Nancarrow telegraphed to enquire 1 whether the. Kennedy had reached, as a report f had arrived that she had foundered ou Mokihintii . bar.* -From this' we may . judge what must have 1 been the vessel’s appearance to the people on 1 shore (where hundreds .of .spectators were ga- 1 thered as she was passing the bar), and the condi- 3 tion of the har /when-she involuntarily left the f river nnder.pressure ofthe fresh. Providentially, i the . owners ,were able to reply that the vessel had arrived, all :right, having, escaped the imminent 1 danger which she haid'undergone. s • The' Kennedy.'left'Hokitika.oh/Tuesday last, 22nd October, and arrived at the Grey the satoe * day at 2.p.m.;..1eft the ;Grey on Wednesday at 5 1 p.m.,*and entered the Buller at S ‘ aLin. on Thurs- 1 day. - The same day she left'Westport at 4-30 p.m., ! and ,crossed the Mokihinui /bar at B*3o that, even- 1 ing, where she .moored inside for the night. : At daylight on Friday morning commenced' discharging deck 1 cargo;; but as ; the-morning passed the f fresh in the .river increased so rapidly, that only, a 1 few,toils could be gqt out of the prepar- ! aitions had to he. .made for 1 leaving the"river. - The J hatches'were then put bn; : hut such was the violep.ee of .the,current that aa soon as the operation ! was .completed, (it had beeni raining heavily since : eleven o’clock the previous night) all the. moorings < were carried-away, and the vessel waa swept -into i the middle ofthe river by the force'of the stream. 1 The port anchor was still down, andso:fatbo.ms of , cable were payed out : to hold the ship in position ■until the deck could be' cleared -for/erbssing the bar, at the Bame time; steaming full .speech ahead te[%ep herfup to the anchor. ...In spite .ofalltthis, thelihcreasing force; of the current/was too ’much fcfr the ship; 'arid ishie dragged ; her anchors at ’ the ; rate of four to five; miles an hour/ 1 Then Captain Carey saw that oaotMng eould he done but slip the chain; and'this being eifected he tried to get the vessel- out : stern‘flrat, as there was imminent danger: of her goingJbroadslde -/on- toithe. stream; then rmining at .a' very rapid rate.- Shortly after this she struck her stem oiTtbeNorth Spit, and carried away her'steeringapparatus, slewing.round broadside on to the sea... with her head to the south? warjcL The captaiulmmediately set men to,work to; hook: on relieving taokles, This tdok sometime -tb aceomplish. as the sea poured -in^'oh the vessel i 1 and nearly wasded tlie men overhoard, and' »'re- - quentlyk.duimg 'this ivety iiazardous operation dashing them away, from the: stern; as. the steersman.had repeatedly been washed away. from/the . wheeL ' At this critical,moment -the engineer re- » ported’that/there were from two to threq feetr of > water in lhe engine-roopa, Andthexoals andashes ‘ were washing: about-so; vifllentiy; aa;topreclude ? i the steam was going down rapidly.
